SCADA & Digital Control

Water utility digitalisation is a stated priority in the UAE — DEWA, Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority, and SEWA all have digital transformation programmes targeting real-time plant monitoring, predictive maintenance, and regulatory compliance reporting. We supply the control and monitoring hardware for water treatment and desalination plant control systems.

What we supply

• PLC-based control systems for water treatment unit operations
• SCADA platforms — operator interface, historian, alarm management
• Remote monitoring systems — RTU, GSM/GPRS for remote site data collection
• Flow, pressure, level, and quality instrumentation — pH, chlorine, turbidity, conductivity
• Chemical dosing control systems — flow-paced and feedback-controlled
• Energy monitoring systems — specific energy consumption tracking
• Laboratory information management system (LIMS) integration

How the project proceeds

1. Define the control and monitoring scope — unit operations, measurement points, remote sites
2. Select PLC platform and SCADA software; design the system architecture
3. Source hardware from qualified vendors; perform factory acceptance testing
4. Install and commission the system; configure reports and regulatory outputs

Why Infinity

Water utility SCADA must integrate with a wider plant information network and potentially with the national utility SCADA system. We specify open communication protocols — Modbus, DNP3, IEC 60870 — to ensure integration without vendor lock-in.
